    There, fixed it for you.
    Plus, these things tend to have a high centre of gravity, and roll at the soonest opportunity. Even on the road i found - I got one up on 2 wheels in the manuka gorge. that gave me a fright. I was just trying to keep my hard-won momentum up!

    Not trying to shit-stir or anything haha but just buy a landrover. Lighter than a cruiser or patrol, easy to modify or repair, and they are very capable even in stock form. try buying a toyota with two solid axles, and coils and disks all round for under $6-7k! This is assuming we are talking about a truck built for offroad fun, not just a cargo-carrying & towing truck. hard to beat a cruiser for that, if money is no issue.
    Okay, maybe shit stirring a little.

    Yes, I've been following it. Very cool!
    But that's what I was saying - you can't buy a Toyota with disc's and coils all round for cheap.
    I'll stay out of it though, this is a toyota discussion haha

    When I read the words Landrover and lighter next to each other my mind thought Bic lighter. And I immediately thought this guy knows what's best for Landrovers.

    It’s just aswell they’re so easy to repair. I’ve got a mate with a 2008 defender, seems he’s always fixing something.

    I owned a landrover once, never again, been hilux ever since, had a few crumpy ones, bloody good in the mud but put a trailer on and sad stories.
    D4d 4wd xtra cab at the moment.
    Power to burn and momentum is your freind in the mud.
